Is. 9:6 (from my personal study) Part two Therefore, the personal name at Is. 9:6 in the footnote of the following Bible reads: "And his name is called: Wonderful in Counsel is God the Mighty, the Everlasting Father, the Ruler of Peace." - The Holy Scriptures, JPS Version...

Is. 9:6 (from my own personal study, found in full on my sites) Part one One way to interpret Is. 9:6 is to recognize that many of the Jewish personal names from this period were simple phrases or clauses which were intended to recognize or praise their God. [1] Personal names ion the...

What I don’t understand is: why are Mormons (LDS) not examined here and in Mormonism and Christianity (Mike & proveallthings) by what their ‘scriptures’ say? In other words, why is no one actually examining the BOM; Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine of Covenants; and the Inspired Bible...

Free (post #61): It's simple to say something is wrong - show me what's wrong! If it really is wrong, I really want to fix it!

I Am Coming Soon (or ‘Quickly’) Often those who use the “Alpha and Omega†argument point out that Jesus says “I am coming soon†(NIV and RSV) in Rev. 22:20. Then they point to the same words in Rev. 22:12 (“I am coming soonâ€) and tell us that Jehovah spoke these words here. But...

Justified not Petrified: “The 5-volume Expositor's Greek New Testament ranks among the most important commentaries on the Greek text of the New Testament since the turn of the century [or since 1901 in other words].” - Vol. 5, p. 340, The Expositor Greek Testament, edited by Rev. W...

Ted, post #20: ………………………… Eph. 5:5 - one of the examples Sharp himself chose to “prove” Christ’s deity. Most trinitarian Bibles translate this example of Sharp’s Construction: “in the kingdom of Christ and of God” - KJV; NRSV; RSV; NIV; NEB; REB; NAB; Douay; MLB; LB; GNB; TEV...

Free: The many Trinitarian scholars who have disputed the “God is Jesus†interpretation of the 5 Sharp’s ‘proofs’ make this an obvious disputed (not clear) interpretation. They not only CAN be translated differently, but these many trinitarian scholars believe they SHOULD be. 2 Peter...

For Free, #15 Sharp’s rule was invented in the 18th century by a Trinitarian searching for “absolute grammatical proof of the trinity.” He declared that a NT Greek construction wherein two nouns (persons) are joined by the word “and” [kai] and the first noun has the article [‘the’] but the...

John Zain: Scripture clearly and repeatedly states that Jesus is the Christ/Messiah. It clearly and repeatedly (hundreds of times) states that YHWH (Jehovah/Yahweh) is God. But it never clearly nor repeatedly states that Jesus is God.

Since I am blocked (one way or another) from actually presenting nearly anything that defends the non-trinitarian information I have so much of, I might as well not even check in anymore. It's bad enough having so many of my posts deleted or not allowed, but when certain ones start in with...

Re. Ted's rejected post: I would like to be able to respond to Free's incorrect definitions and confusion of two different Greek words concerning John 1:1. It is abundantly clear that he has confused the preposition en with the imperfect verb eta nu (nv) and that even his definition of nv...

John Z. There are hundreds (if not thousands of uses of ego eimi) in the Septuagint OT. This Greek translation of the Hebrew was made around 200 B.C. Here are a very few of them - notice who it is that speaks those words. Genesis 4:9; 23:4; 24:24,34; 27:32; 30:2; 31:38 (rendered "I have...

The ex-blind man at John 9:9 identifies himself (unlike Jesus at 8:58, etc.) as ego eimi - see interlinear. Paul says at 1 Cor. 15:10 in the literal NT Greek: “I AM WHAT I AM.†This is much closer to what trinitarians want to believe God said at Ex. 3:14 than Jesus’ saying ego eimi at...

It's standard for translators to add words that context requires. For example should the ex-blind man at Jn9:9 really claim the supposed divine 'name' of 'I AM' (ego eimi ). That's what the actual Greek text says. And yet the NASB renders it "I am the one"! "The one" is not in the text...

Not 'I AM' - part 2 A further difficulty for this trinitarian “proof” comes from the high probability that ehyeh is mistranslated as “I am” (as was pointed out by M. Buber in the New Bible Dictionary quote and the Jewish Study Bible above). I first suspected this when I saw how ehyeh was...

Not 'I AM' - part 1 ………………………………................ The two main points to be made about Exodus 3:14 in the original Hebrew are: (1) the word sometimes translated “I AM” in English is not the name of God but merely an explanation of the meaning of his only personal name (“Jehovah” - English...

The Most High is Jehovah alone (Ps. 83:18) - see Luke 1:32, NRSV; NASB, where Jesus is called the Son of the Most High, NRSV. Jehovah is called the Father (but he is never called the Son, the Firstborn, the Only-begotten, the Christ or Messiah, etc.). Even many personal names of Israelites...

I thought one of the big rules here was to tell what Bible you're using (unless it's the KJV - - - but it's not). It seems obvious that John quotes Jesus as declaring that the Father is the only true God. And Jesus, his servant, was sent by the only true God. Clearly the Jews here were...

I, too, am reluctant to post anything here concerning the trinity for the very same reasons Async mentioned above. I've been shut out in various ways from posting most places here and would hate to lose this one. But, then again, what good does it do me if I can't post about Jesus and God...
